A PDF file preserves formatting (including text, fonts and graphics) so it looks the same on any device regardless of the software, hardware or operating system used to create it. PDFs are primarily meant for viewing, not editing, and you can easily view, navigate, print or forward them to someone else.

Most website browsers already support PDF viewing but you can also download the free viewer from Adobe Systems.
